UPDATE: Currents in Electronic Literacy (7/31/04; e-journal issue)

Call for papers on special journal topic "Intersections or Reflections: What DoTechnology and Literature Have to Say to One Another?"

The upcoming issue of Currents in Electronic Literacy<http://currents.cwrl.utexas.edu> will provide a forum for the presentation anddiscussion of technologically-informed work in literary studies. If literaturemirrors (and implicitly critiques) society, how has its academic study come toreflect technological developments? Alternatively, where do literature andtechnology intersect? Submissions might fit one of the following categories:

--explorations of pedagogical uses of technology in the teaching of literature:either practical (how to use a particular application to teach a certain text)or theoretical (what are the implications of incorporating technology into theteaching of literature?)--studies of the intersections of literary and technological forms: forexample,new developments in hypertext fiction or blogs as an emerging genre. How hasold content appeared in new forms, or new content in old forms? (Or how are theboundaries blurred?)--investigations into how literature and technology reflect each other: how canthe disciplinary concerns of literary studies help us approach technology? Whatcan the paradigms of information technology offer to the study of literature?
